24 Claims.

This invention relates to cash registers and like machines and is particularly directed to the printing mechanisms of machines of the class illustrated and described in Letters Patent of the United States No. 1,619,796, granted March 1, 1927, to B. M. Shipley, and Patents Nos. 1,817,883, and 1,865,147, issued respectively August 4, 1931, and June 28, 1932, to B. M. Shipley.

Broadly it is an object of this invention to provide a machine of the type referred to above, with unique mechanism to feed record material in relation to the imprinting means.

Another object of the present invention is the provision of means to control the printing and issuing of receipts in single item and multiple item transactions.

Another object is to produce a machine of the character illustrated, which will print and issue a single item stub receipt or a multiple item stub receipt.

Another object of this invention is to provide a machine of the character referred to above with novel means for printing the amount of a single item transaction upon the body and the stub of a receipt, for printing each item of a multiple item transaction and the total of all of said items upon the body of the receipt, and duplicate the printing of the total upon the stub of said receipt.

Still another object is to provide means to shift the receipt material back and forth in relation to the printing line to properly space records thereon.

A further object is to provide means to variably feed record material in relation tothe imprinting means so that various types of receipts may be issued, depending upon the type of operation being performed.

A still further object is to provide means to feed a receipt a fixed amount forwardly and simultaneously print data thereon and'to feed the receipt a varying amount rearwardly and forwardly in relation to the printing line to compensate for the above mentioned fixed feed to properly space the printed records on said receipt.

multiple item receipts, the latter of varying lengths, may be printed and issued.

With these and incidental objects in view, the

invention includes certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, the essential elements of which are set forth in appended claims and a preferred form or embodiment of which is hereinafter described with reference to the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification.

In said drawings:

Fig. 1 is a transverse sectional view as observed from the right of the machine, taken through one of the amount banks, and showing in particular said amount bank and its associated differential mechanism.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the machine as observed from the right and illustrates in particular the transaction bank and its associated differential mechanism.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the keyboard of the machine embodying the instant invention.

Fig. 4 is a detail view of a part of the mechanism for shifting the rear totalizer line laterally in relation to the amount differentials.

Fig. 4-A is a diagrammatic view showing the relation of the receipt to the printing, perforating and severing means.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary detail view of the total control lever and a part ofthe mechanism associated therewith.

Fig. 6 is a detail view of the mechanism for initiating operation of the machine.

Fig. 7 is an elevation of the right-hand end of the machine showing the transaction bank, the machine releasing mechanism and the cycle controlling mechanism.

Fig. 8 is a left side elevation of the clerks bank and its associated difierential mechanism.

Fig. 9 is a detail view of the interlock between the amount keys, the total control lever and the machine releasing means.

Fig. 10 is a left side elevation of the mechanism for positioning the clerks type wheels, said mechanism being operated by the clerk's differential mechanism shown in Fig. 8.

Fig. 10-A is a detail of a part of the clerk's differential mechanism.

Fig. 11 is a left side elevation of the machine illustrating in a general way the receipt printing and issuing mechanism.

Fig. 12 is a facsimile of a single item stub receipt issued by the machine of the instant invention.

Fig. 13 is a left side view of the multiple item counter and a portion of the printer controlling mechanism.

Fig. 14 is a detail view of the mechanism that disables a portion of the receipt hammer platen in multiple item transactions.

Fig. 15 is a detail view of the receipt hammer operating mechanism.
